About the AREDS formula

In 2001, the National Eye Institute completed a large ten-year study— the Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS). AREDS proved that people at high risk of developing advanced stages of AMD lowered their risk by about 25% when treated with certain antioxidant vitamins and minerals.Viteyes® is Formulated to Protect Your Vision The identical AREDS formula—the one recommended by the National Eye Institute is used in Viteyes® AREDS, AREDS Plus Lutein.

Macular Degeneration Related Research

Meso-Zeaxanthin Aids Eyes 2007 Study - a supplement of meso-zeaxanthin may bolster macular pigment optical density (MPOD), according to researchers from Florida International University (Nutr Metab. 2007;4:12) (DOI:10.1186/1743-7075-4-12). Lutein and zeaxanthin have been the primary focus of research trials exploring how the xanthophyll carotenoids can support macular pigment and possibly prevent onset of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Meso-zeaxanthin is the third major carotenoid found in macular pigment.

Lutein and Prevention of Macular Degeneration (Study 1994) Study: Lutein and Prevention of Macular Degeneration The results of the study found that the highest correlation of disease prevention was associated with an intake of 6 mg per day of lutein, which led to a 57% decrease in the risk of contracting AMD.Seddon, J.M., U.A. Ajani, et al. (1994). “Dietary carotenoid, vitamins A, C, E, and advanced age-related macular degeneration. Eye Disease -Case-Control Study Group Jama 272(18):1413-20

Zeaxanthin Can Reduce Chances of AMD 79% (2006 study)The authors reported a significant (50%) reduced risk of early or late AMD in subjects with high plasma zeaxanthin (>0.05ìM), compared with subjects with low levels (<0.03ì). Ref: IOVS, June 2006, Vol. 47, No. 6

No More Flashes Review by Judy

Quality

I purchased this group of products 28 days ago on the recommendation of the doctors on this site. Also, I purchased Visoluten, Pure Focus Pump and MSM Eye drops. I have not had any eye flashes for over 7 days. I don't know which of these products is responsible or if it is all of them. I recommend these supplements without reservation. The MSM Eye Drops made my dry, itchy left eye better within days. I had trouble with it daily for 3 years. This is great stuff. I will write again after I have used it for 6 months and and get a report from my eye surgeon who is monitoring me for a slight case of dry AMD and a membrane over my retina. So far no surgeries or shots. So far I see 20/20 with glasses except for a few floaters. Good luck to all of you.
